Incident Description

Which type of area was your bike stolen from?: 
Sidewalk in front of an open business.
How long was the bike locked in this location?: 
Under five hours
Incident Description: 
Bike locked at around 9am down-town to a metal fence due to the bike-racks being full of other bikes. Came outside for lunch around 2pm to find the bike missing. Many other bikes were still locked to the fence and other bike-racks. Due to the high traffic of the area and the fact that as far as I know few if no other bikes were stolen I suspect that the thieves use "hit and run" tactics stealing bikes with bolt cutters and a truck. Bike may be found at used bike dealers.
